Greetings! The NY Post is promoting a book in its op-ed pages that “isn’t afraid to teach the history of American greatness and hope.”  The second edition of Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story, is written by historian Wilfred McClay, who teaches at conservative Hillsdale College. I hope you have a lot of money because the 888-page non-fiction book sells for $95.  The book, which is most definitely not a warts-and-all history,  hits retailers tomorrow...In case you were wondering if “60 Minutes” was veering more to the right under the direction of its anti-wokester boss Bari Weiss, you’ll have to wait another week. The third show of the season was pre-empted last night so CBS could broadcast the frivolous  MTV Video Music Awards. Worth noting: The show featured the world premiere video of Taylor Swift’s Patient Zero. I know I’m not the target audience, but I thought it was pretentious, confusing and massively over-produced...A SteveGruber.com commentary by the prolific right-wing pundit Liberty Paige offers a lame defense of the high price of gas.  She reasons that because coffee, Door Dash, cell phones and other services and commodities are so high, we shouldn’t complain about the cost of gas.  Her best point is that the price of gas is nearly impossible to ignore since huge signs at thousands of gas stations across the country advertise the cost. “What other products or services do you know the EXACT price of every day?,” she writes. Maybe the power-hungry POTUS should have thought of that before he started dropping bombs on Iran....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
